"There is a vaccine for TB?"

Years ago they gave us BCG vaccinations when we went into nurses training. Nasty little thing. Created a weeping sore on our shoulders for about two weeks. I have no idea if it was useful for anything other than creating a positive skin test indicating TB "exposure" for many years.

Thank you for informing me. I recall smallpox and other vaccinations, and the polio vaccine campaign, but had heard little about a TB vaccine.

For the benefit of others who shared my ignorance, here is more information.

Thanks for reinforcing my memory.

For a second there I was afraid I was a replicant with implanted memories (and was hoping I was a Nexus 8)
